Very good indeed. The plot involves a young woman who is suspected of two murders, and whose husband calls in Arthur Crook to clear her. Although the atmosphere is domestic, it’s not excessively feminine, and the clueing and plot construction are solid. Crook himself is a good character, with something of the gusto of H.M. Really good, well-clued Agatha Christie-type solution, which should be obvious but isn’t. I suspected the murderer at one point (there are only three main suspects, not counting the heroine), but my suspicions were deflected, and the explanation had several big points that were a total surprise. I should have known!
